5tablespoonsbutter, melted
1.5quartsMint Chocolate Moose Tracks ice cream, or mint chocolate chip
8ouncesCool Whip
3tablespoonschocolate syrup , for garnish
Instructions
Put the cookies in the food processor and pulse until they are crumbs. Continue to pulse while adding a stream of melted butter. The crumb mixture will look a bit like mud.
Pour the crumb mixture into an 8x8-inch baking pan. Using a spatula or your fingers, press the crumbs down firmly and evenly to form a crust.
Remove the mint chocolate ice cream from the freezer and allow to thaw for about 5 minutes. Using an ice cream scoop, put scoops of ice cream on top of the crust. Use a spoon to spread the ice cream evenly over the crust. Cover and freeze the dessert for 1 hour.
Add the Cool Whip to the top of the ice cream layer. Spread it evenly across the top. Cover and freeze until you are ready to serve. Cut the dessert into squares using a metal spatula, so you can cut through the crust. You will get 9 servings.
Serve the dessert with a drizzle of chocolate syrup to garnish.
